STOVE-LEG FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,382, dated October 19, 1880.

Application filed May 28, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN TEMME, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Leg Fastenings and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to an improved device for securely locking and holding stovelegs of the ordinary construction in place after they have been placed in position under a stove; and this invention consists in the com- 2 is a detail bottom plan, partly in section.

The stove-legs A are secured to the bottom of the stove B by means of their toes a engaging between the bevel-faced lugs b on the bottom of the stove in the usual manner.

The stove-legs have side lugs, a, to which (N 0 model.)

the ends of the border or tie pieces G are securely attached by bolt and nut c, or their equivalent.

The border-pieces are formed with shoulders 0 0 which engage the sides of the stove-legs to form a stiff and rigid joint at these points. The shape ot' the border-pieces C will be varied to suit the configuration of the bottom part of the stove, to which my improvement is applied.

In the drawings I have shown it applied to the ordinary square-bottom cooking-stove.

The main advantage of my improved construction is, that by its use the stove-legs are securely attached to the stove, so as to form an integral part of the same, and so that no amount of movement or handling of the stove will displace or loosen the legs.

I claim as my invention The stove-legs A, fastened in the usual manher to the bottom'of the stove, in combination with the tie or border pieces 0, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof, witness my hand this 26th day of May, A. D. 1880.

CHRISTIAN TEMME.

In presence of- ROBERT BURNS, GEO. BULLOCK.
